Setup and Installation

These dummy plugs are designed for use with SRAM Red eTap Blip remote shifters and the BlipBox control module. They serve to protect electronic interfaces and maintain a clean aesthetic when Blips are not in use or during specific installations.

1. Identify Components: Distinguish between the smaller red Blip dummy plugs and the larger black BlipBox dummy plugs.
2. Blip Dummy Plug Installation:
   • Locate the unused Blip port on your SRAM Red eTap Blip remote shifter.
   • Gently insert the red Blip dummy plug into the port until it is seated securely. Ensure the O-ring provides a snug fit.
   • These plugs protect the port from dirt and moisture.
3. BlipBox Dummy Plug Installation:
   • Identify the unused port on your SRAM Red eTap BlipBox control module.
   • Carefully push the black BlipBox dummy plug into the port. It should fit firmly to prevent dislodgement.
   • These plugs are crucial for maintaining the integrity of the BlipBox and preventing debris ingress.
4. Verification: After installation, ensure all dummy plugs are securely in place and do not interfere with other components.

Note: These are dummy plugs and do not provide shifting functionality. They are for protection and aesthetic purposes only.

Operating Instructions

The SRAM Red eTap Blip Dummy Plugs and BlipBox Control Module Pair are passive components. They do not require active operation. Their function is to protect open ports on your SRAM Red eTap system.

• Protection: When installed, the dummy plugs prevent dust, dirt, and moisture from entering the electronic ports of your Blip shifters and BlipBox.
• Aerodynamics: They contribute to a cleaner, more aerodynamic cockpit by filling unused ports.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and effectiveness of your dummy plugs.

• Cleaning: Wipe the dummy plugs with a clean, damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or grime. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the dummy plugs for any signs of wear, cracking, or damage. Ensure the O-rings on the Blip dummy plugs are intact and providing a good seal.
• Storage: If removed, store the dummy plugs in a clean, dry place to prevent loss or damage.

Troubleshooting

As passive components, troubleshooting for dummy plugs is minimal.
